They say that destroying a building or whacking an old car with a sledge hammer helps vent out some anger. To be more economic, maybe stress balls? Or just use your pillow? Or yeah, a punching bag would work.

I hope the source of your anger will go away soon or at least leave your thoughts.

Your "you're"s are making ME want a punching bag now.

I come here trying to make peace, but instead I caused more anger...WHAT HAVE I BECOME!

Is it safe to assume that Jack the Ripper is coming? *MGR REFERENCE*

Also I heard that that kind of stuff doesn't actually work.

Pillows are too small and too soft. They go flying when you slap them lightly, there's no response when you punch them. Stress balls never worked for me - believe me I've tried, I have a drawer full of stress toys back home - so short of taking up boxing and beating up a real person - which I don't have the mean streak in me for - a punching bag is the most I can think of.

If it is a person, then their is a more "scientific" technique of writing a letter that you never mean to send to them, which contains what you really feel towards them and/or why you feel along with some more "ventings" like that. That might work (at least it did for Lincoln).

Normally I go for a walk or do chores. So long as it's productive, you can look back and view it as energy that wasn't wasted on fluffing a pillow or squeezing something. BECAUSE EVERYTHING MUST BE SQUEEZED OR PUNCHED OR IT DOESN'T COUNT!

I typically summon up monsters and ransack a village.

Even better, working out complex strategies to murder them that you never mean to enact (or maybe do).

...That was dark, even for me. Stick to the letter. ._.

Sometimes Walmart carries Wavemaster-style punching bags that stand up. They can also be found at sports stores, sports sections, etc. You fill the base with sand or water, and they're nice because you don't have to mount them to the ceiling. When I was pricing them for Rob's taekwondo school, they were about $120. They commonly go on pretty good sales, though. But before you hit one, you should definitely make sure you know how to throw a proper punch so that you don't injure your hand or break your wrist (get hand wraps, boxing gloves, or fingerless gloves with padding that wrap around your wrist.) Punching and beating on a bag is definitely a great way to relieve stress without harming yourself and others (as long as you know what you're doing) and get a good workout!

Thank-you for the information. That's actually one of the things that I've been trying to figure out before I buy one; I've read that even if it's not that hard, a proper punch can damage your hands if they're not wrapped, and even if they are it's good to wear gloves to be safe. I know you have to tense up your wrist and forearm to keep it from bending, but honestly outside of that I don't know much about proper punching technique. The head of the school's MMA club is my RA though, so I might ask him...

Usually I just vent all my anger and frustration to my journal, and forgive all the causes of my anger.

I also have a habit of slamming 2x4s into metal poles and pickaxes into rotted logs.

Both methods work.

Good idea! I was trying to figure out how to write out how to punch but it's hard when you can't show it and correct any harmful errors. And wearing gloves is definitely smart when you're just starting out and/or if you want to practice for more than a few minutes. It can sting like crazyyyy. Have fun!!
